Answer:

b) 2ft/s

Explanation:

A scalar has only magintude, not direction

6.2m, 3kg, and -100 o C are all scalars because they only have magnitude.

2ft/s is not a scalar because it has a direction.

A toy car is moving across a table with a velocity of 7.0 m/s and drives off the end. The table is 1.8 m tall. How long will the

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Option D - 0.2 s

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial velocity; u = 7 m/s

Height of table; h = 1.8m

Now,since we want to find the time the car spent in the air, we will simply use one of Newton's equation of motion.

Thus;

h = ut + ½gt²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

1.8 = 7t + ½(9.8)t²

4.9t² + 7t - 1.8 = 0

Using quadratic formula to find the roots of the equation gives us;

t = -1.65 or 0.22

We can't have negative t value, thus we will pick the positive one.

So, t = 0.22 s

This is approximately 0.2 s

If the units of your answer are kg ∙ m2/s3, which of the following types of quantities could your answer be?

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

D. power

Explanation:

kg represents mass

(m/v)² represents velocity squared

Then kg·m²/s² represents mass·velocity² = kinetic energy or potential energy or work.

kg·m²/s³ will be the rate of doing work, which is power

f the magnitude of the acceleration of a propeller blade's tip exceeds a certain value amaxamax, the blade tip will fracture. If

Luden [163]

Answer:

The angular velocity is $w= \sqrt[4]{\frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2} - \alpha ^2}$

Explanation:

Generally the acceleration experienced by the propeller blade's is broken down into

The Radial acceleration which is mathematically represented as

$a_r = \frac{v^2}{r} = w^2r$

And the Tangential acceleration which is mathematically represented as

$a_r = \alpha r$

The net acceleration is evaluated as

$a = \sqrt{a_r^2 + a_t^2}$

Now since angular speed varies directly with angular acceleration so when acceleration is maximum the angular velocity is maximum also and this point if the propeller blade's tip exceeds it the blade would fracture

So at maximum angular acceleration we a have

$a_{max} = \sqrt{a_r^2 + a_t^2}$

$a_{max}^2 = a_r^2 + a_t^2$

$a_{max}^2 = (w^2r)^2 + (\alpha r)^2$

$a_{max}^2 = r^2 w^4 + r^2 \alpha ^2$

$a_{max}^2 = r^2 (w^4 + \alpha^2 )$

$w^4 +\alpha ^2 = \frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2}$

$w^4 = \frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2} - \alpha ^2$

$w= \sqrt[4]{\frac{a_{max}^2}{r^2} - \alpha ^2}$

If the volume is held constant, what happens to the pressure of a gas as temperature is decreased? Explain.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so $\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

As $T_1$ is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.
